The technical aspect is now complete. • The national promotional aspect of Census 2000 is now beginning to move forward. The educational campaign began in November and the motivational campaign will begin in January. Public Service Announcements (PSA's) are running nationally and the City will be receiving video copies of these PSA's that we will run on the public, government, and educational channels operated by Burnsville/Eagan Community Television. Additionally, the bureau has or will provide posters and flyers that staff will distribute throughout the community (churches, schools, community organizations, etc.). • The City will be hosting a Census 2000 Kick-Off Meeting on February 8, 2000.

What's New for Census 2000? The census results are used Most housing units in the country (about 83 percent) will receive the to establish local eligibility short-form questionnaire in Census 2000. The Census 2000 short for government programs form will be the shortest form in 180 years. Five subjects that were on the 1990 census short form have moved to the Census 2000 long form: marital status, units in structure, number of rooms, value of home and monthly rent. The long form can reliably collect this information. Five subjects that appeared on the 1990 census long form were dropped: children ever born, year last worked, source of water, sewage disposal and condominium status. These subjects were not explicitly mandated or required by federal law. Only one new subject was added to the Census 2000 long form: grandparents as caregivers. This information was needed for the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 (welfare reform). Why Do We Need the Long Form? The long form provides socio-economic detail needed for a wide range of government programs and federal requirements. Nationwide, it goes out to one in six housing units. But to assure the same level of accuracy everywhere, a larger share of housing units in small towns and rural counties receive this form. Community leaders use the long form for planning a wide range of activities, including neighborhood revitalization, economic development and improved facilities and services. To build highways, roads, bridges and tunnels in areas that need them, planners need information about where people live and work and the times they leave for work.

PAVEMENT MARKINGS WESCOTT ROAD ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the final payment for Contract 99-11 (Wescott Road - Pavement Markings) in the amount of $2,575.52 to Warning Lites of MN, Inc., and accept the improvements for perpetual City maintenance subject to warranty provisions. FACTS: • Contract 99-11 provided for the removal of the existing pavement striping and placement of new pavement striping, crosswalks, and messages on Wescott Road, from Pilot Knob Road to Highway 149, to facilitate revising the 4-lane road to a 3-lane design (Project 766R-B) in conjunction with the signalization of the Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue intersection (Project 766R-A). • These improvements have been completed, inspected by representatives of the Public Works Department, and found to be in order for favorable Council action of final payment and acceptance for perpetual maintenance subject to warranty provisions. /6 Agenda Information Memo January 4, 2000 F. CONTRACT 99-10. WESCOTT ROAD & LEXINGTON AVENUE TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION IMPROVEMENTS ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract 99-10 (Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue - Traffic Signalization Improvements) and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • Contract 99-11 provides for the signalization of the Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue intersection, including street improvements required for the realignment of the intersection as outlined and discussed in the revised feasibility report for Project 766R-A prepared by the City's consultant engineer, dated May 27, 1999. • The revision detailed in the change order addresses the replacement of epoxy paint with latex paint for painting all of the pavement markings. • The re-striping of Wescott Road, from Pilot Knob Road to Highway 149 (Project 766R-B), was completed in conjunction with the signalization of the Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue intersection. Latex paint was used for Project 766R-B. • To keep consistent with the striping on the rest of Wescott Road, and to incur significant cost savings for the City, the contractor was directed to use latex paint for the pavement markings. • The cost of the work is consistent with bid prices for relevant bid items on other projects within the City of Eagan. • This change order has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action. • The change order provides for a reduction in the total contract cost by $14,168.32 (3.60% of original contract). The associated cost reduction will be attributed to the Major Street Fund. ATTACHMENTS: Change Order No. 1,*pages A- through / I SRF No. 0993376 CITY OFEAGAN CONTRACT NO.: 99-10 CHANGE ORDER NO.: 1 PROJECT NO.: 766R -A DATE: DECEMBER 20,1999 PROJECT NAME: WESCOTT ROAD AND LEXINGTON A VENUE PROJECT DESCRIP770N: The Project consists of intersection realignment including grading, curb and gutter, traffic signal system and bituminous paving for the Wescott Road and Lexington Avenue intersection. CONTRACTOR: Valley Paving ENGINEER: SRF Consulting Group, Inc. 8800 13th Avenue East One Carlson Parkway, Suite 150 Shakopee, MN 55379 Minneapolis, MN 55447 DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE ORDER WORK.- The change order consists of changing the paint for all pavement messages and related striping from epoxy to latex paint. The items included all pavement marking and striping. JUSTIFICATION FOR/PURPOSE OF CHANGE ORDER: The addition of this change order is necessary due to the change in the type of paint used for the project's pavement marking and striping. Epoxy paint was designated for all pavement marking and striping under the original Contract. However, latex paint was used to match the type of paint used in the restriping of the adjacent Wescott Road to the east and west. The change from using latex paint rather than epoxy paint significantly reduces the overall project cost due to the lesser cost of latex paint marking and striping. /8 Change Order No. 1 -2- December 22, 1999 DESCRIPTION OF WORK ITEMS TO BE DELETED: Contract Contract Item No. Item Description nit nit Pric uantit Amount 2564.602 Pavement Message (Left Arrow) Epoxy Each $160.00 8 $1,280.00 2564.602 Pavement Message (Only) Epoxy Each $225.00 8 $1,800.00 2564.602 Pavement Message (Right Arrow)Epoxy Each $150.00 4 $ 600.00 2564.603 12" Solid Line White Epoxy Lin.Ft. $ 5.50 675 $3,712.50 2564.603 24" Solid Line White Epoxy Lin.Ft. $ 8.75 160 $1,400.00 2564.603 4" Broken Line White Epoxy Lin.Ft. $ 1.95 20 $ 39.00 2564.603 4" Broken Line Yellow Epoxy Lin.Ft. $ 1.95 175 $ 341.25 2564.603 4" Double Solid Line Yellow Epoxy Lin.Ft.

GRANT APPLICATION, MINNESOTA AUTO THEFT PREVENTION PROGRAM ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a resolution authorizing the City of Eagan to enter into a cooperative agreement with the State of Minnesota for the project entitled Minnesota Auto Theft Prevention Program. FACTS: • The Minnesota legislature passed legislation in 1996 which created the Minnesota Auto Theft Prevention Program, also called "MATPP." The purpose of this legislation is to reduce motor vehicle theft; consequently, in the State of Minnesota, this funded program aids in the identification of critical issues, education and awareness, and investigation and prosecution. The legislature established the Minnesota Auto Theft Prevention Board, which will make grant funding available annually to support the purposes of the legislation. • Approximately $689,000 was appropriated for the grant period commencing on July 1, 2000 and expiring on June 30, 2001. The Eagan Police Department is applying for monies from this grant for the purposes of reducing auto theft in the City of Eagan. The approximate amount of the application for the grant is $53,101 to be used in overtime and equipment costs. A bait vehicle equipped with audio, video and tracking capabilities will be used in high-theft areas. In 1996, 190 auto thefts occurred in the City of Eagan. In 1997, 136 auto thefts took place and in 1998 there were 105 auto thefts. In 1998, the Eagan Police Department recovered 56 stolen vehicles and 39 have been recovered in 1999. • It is the Eagan Police Department's goal to continue to reduce auto theft in our City, and to increase the number of prosecutions for that crime. ATTACHMENTS: • Resolution enclosed on page as CITY OF EAGAN RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT BE IT RESOLVED, that the City of Eagan enter into a cooperative agreement with the State of Minnesota for the project entitled Minnesota Auto Theft Prevention Program during the period from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001.

LEXINGTON SECOND ADDITION - EASEMENT VACATION ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: Approve the vacation of public drainage and utility easements as described within Outlot B, Lexington 2d Addition (now known as Northwood Business Park), and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute all related documents. FACTS: • On October 19, 1999, the City Council approved the Final Plat of Northwood Business Park. • On November 24, City staff received a request from Jim Ostenson, Rock Cliff Development, LLC, developer of Northwood Business Park, to vacate portions of the public drainage and utility easements within Outlot B, Lexington 2nd Addition (Now known as Northwood Business Park) located west of Lexington Avenue and north of Northwood Parkway in the SE '/4 of Section 10. • On December 6, 1999, the City Council received the petition and set a public hearing for January 4, 2000, to formally consider vacating said easements. • The easements were originally dedicated with Lexington 2nd Addition, platted for Home Depot, for a sanitary sewer main and pond. • The property has been re-platted as Northwood Business Park with new drainage and utility easements dedicated as needed on the new plat. • The approved building layout for Northwood Business Park included building pads and parking lots within the existing easements. This layout required the relocation of the existing sanitary sewer and regrading of the pond easement. • All notices have been published in the legal newspaper and sent to all potentially affected private utility owners informing them of this public hearing. No objections have been received to date. • This vacation request has been reviewed by the Engineering Division and found to be in order for favorable Council action.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To Approve or Deny a residential and/or a commercial/multi-family waste-hauling license for New Earth Services, Inc. FACTS: • New Earth Services, Inc. applied for a residential waste-hauling license on November 2, 1999. • The staff asked for the item to be continued in order to research the status of New Earth Services, Inc. compliance with City and County Ordinances. • The City Council scheduled a public hearing for January 4, 2000 to review the application. • New Earth Services, Inc. applied for renewal of its commercial waste-hauling license for the year 2000. The renewal application for a commercial waste-hauling license was taken off of the December 20, 1999 City Council agenda and held for joint consideration with the residential waste hauling license also at the January 4, 2000 City Council meeting. • Staff found that one of the two trucks New Earth Services, Inc. is requesting licensing for, does not meet City code standards, as it will not prevent the loss of liquid or solid cargo in transit. • If license is granted it should be with the stipulation that this truck not be utilized for garbage or recycling collection. FACTS: (For information only) • Both Dakota County and the City of Eagan have notified New Earth Services, Inc.fMega Excavation regarding current storage violations at their property at 4841 Biscayne Avenue. • Contacts and requests for remediation have gone unanswered by the property owner. • The City of Eagan has begun processing a criminal complaint against the property owner. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To direct staff and the City Attorney to review and recommend modifications to City Code Chapter 6.37 regarding waste-hauler licensing. FACTS: • In processing this licensing request, staff has noted a number of areas in which this City Code section should be strengthened and modified. 1/ / • Recommended City Code modifications could include requirement of compliance with all other City Code sections, compliance with State and County regulations, procedure for non-renewal or removal of license, etc. ATTACHMENTS: • onpage _y. 4cA MEMO city of eagan TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: JOANNA FOOTE, COMMUNICATIONS/RECYCLING COORDINATOR DATE: DECEMBER 28,1999 SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF HAULING LICENSES- NEW EARTH SERVICES On November 2, 1999, New Earth Services, Inc. applied for a residential waste-hauling license. Staff had questions regarding the company's ability to meet the City's licensing requirements and therefore asked that the City Council continue the item for consideration at a public hearing. The hearing was set for January 4, 2000. New Earth Services has also applied for renewal of its commercial/multi-family waste hauling license. This renewal will also be considered jointly with the residential application on January 4. While there are currently two residential licenses available (three as of January 1, 2000), there are questions regarding the manner in which New Earth Services, Inc. operates and whether its operations are acceptable to the standards set forth within the Eagan City Code. If a license is granted, the City may wish to attach certain stipulations to that license. Currently three other residential waste hauling license applications are pending which will be scheduled for consideration at the January 18 City Council meeting. New Earth Service is requesting licensing of two vehicles. One is a standard packer-type vehicle typically used for garbage pick-up and appears to meet ordinance requirements. The other is a flatbed truck with a metal fencing enclosure, which does not meet ordinance requirements. Staff was told by Mark Peiper, owner of New Earth Services, Inc. that this was the vehicle used for recycling pick-up, however staff has also received information that this vehicle has been used by New Earth Services, within the City of Apple Valley for garbage pick-up. Eagan ordinance chapter 6.37 states: Subd. 4. Hauler licensee requirements. A. Hauler licenses shall be granted only upon the condition that the licensee has watertight packer-type vehicles or, in the case of recycling and construction or demolition debris haulers, appropriate container vehicles in condition to prevent loss in transit of liquid or solid cargo... The second vehicle being considered for licensing does not prevent loss of liquid or solid cargo in transit, is not a typical recycling and/or garbage truck and does not meet current industry or City ordinance standards. If these licenses are granted, it should be done with the stipulation that this vehicle not be licensed or utilized. A separate issue, but one which you should be aware, is that the City Code enforcement staff has sent two notices to Mark Peiper, owner of New Earth Services and Mega Excavating Company, 4841 Biscayne Ave., Eagan, regarding outdoor storage which is in violation of their Conditional Use Permit (CUP). As of today, Mr. Peiper has not made an attempt to contact staff or to bring the site into compliance. Staff is sending the case information to the City Attorney to begin the criminal 4/3 complaint process. Dakota County has also issued a letter regarding improper storage of garbage and yardwaste materials at the site and is pursuing the process for compliance as well. These documents and photos of the site condition are available and will be supplied upon request. Finally, in researching this licensing request, staff believes that it may be wise to review the City licensing procedure regarding waste and recycling haulers, in order to provide a more streamlined and functional process. Examples of proposed ordinance modifications could include requirement of compliance with all other City Code sections, compliance with State and County regulations, procedure for non-renewal or removal of a license, etc. Staff will be happy to address this or other items upon request or City Council direction. 1,-'ommunications/Recycling Coordinator Agenda Information Memo January 4, 2000 Eagan City Council Meeting E. BUSINESS SUBSIDY POLICY ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To adopt the City of Eagan Business Subsidy Policy. FACTS: • Minnesota Statutes 116J.993-116J.995 require that all government units providing business subsidies after August 1, 1999 must prepare a business subsidy policy. This policy must be adopted prior to the governmental unit entering into any agreement after the above date. A public hearing is required to formally adopt the policy. • City staff has prepared the policy and agreement with the assistance of Sprinsted Incorporated. • This policy will be provided as additional information to any business requesting or given the City of Eagan Development and Business Assistance Policy, which was adopted by the City Council in December. ATTACHMENTS: • City of Eagan Business Subsidy Policy & Agreement is attached on pages Y/ through S city of eagan ff. f>"- :f BUSINESS SUBSIDY POLICY & AGREEMENT Adopted 01/04/00 BUSINESS SUBSIDY CRITERIA The following business subsidy criteria are intended to satisfy the requirements of Minnesota Statutes §§116J.993 through 116J.995. The term "city" means the City of Eagan. The term "project" means the property with respect to which business subsidy is provided. A. Project Review and Evaluation Policy 1. The City recognizes that the creation of good paying jobs is a desirable goal that benefits the community. Nevertheless, not all projects assisted with subsidies derive their public purposes and importance solely by virtue of job creation. In addition, the imposition of high job creation requirements and high wage level requirements may be unrealistic and counter-productive in the face of larger economic forces influencing, and the financial and competitive circumstances of, an individual business. In determining the requirements for a project under consideration for a business subsidy, the determination of the number of jobs to be created and the wage levels therefore will be guided by the following principles and criteria: a. Each project will be evaluated on a case by case basis. The evaluation will take into consideration the project's importance in and benefit to the community from all perspectives, including created or retained jobs. b. If a particular project does not involve the creation of jobs, but is nonetheless found to be worthy of support and subsidy, assistance may be approved without any specific job or wage goals if permitted by applicable law. c. In cases where the objective is the retention of existing jobs, the recipient of the subsidy will be required to provide evidence that demonstrates that the loss of those jobs is imminent. d. The setting of wages and job goals will be informed by (i) prevailing wage rates, (ii) local economic conditions, (iii) external economic forces over which neither the City nor the recipient of the subsidy has control, (iv) the financial resources of the recipient and (v) the competitive environment in which the recipient's business exists. 2. The City retains the right to approve the projects and business subsidies which may vary from the principles and criteria set forth herein in order to retain the flexibility necessary to respond to all proposed projects because it is not possible to anticipate all the needs and requirements of every type of project and the ever-changing needs of the community. 97 B. Project Review and Evaluation Procedure The City will consider one or more of the criteria listed in Section C below in determining whether to provide financial or other assistance to a project as a business subsidy. In applying the criteria to a specific project, the following will apply: 1. The City may consider the requirements of any other business subsidy received, or to be received, from a grantor other than the City. 2. If the business subsidy is a guaranty, the amount of the business subsidy may be valued at the principal amount of the guaranteed payment obligation. 3. If the business subsidy is real or personal property, the amount of the subsidy will be the fair market value of the property as determined by the City. 4. If the business subsidy is received over time, the City may value the subsidy at its present value using a discount rate equal to an interest rate that the City determines is fair and reasonable under the circumstances. As used herein, "benefit date" means the date the business subsidy is received. If the business subsidy involves the purchase, lease, or donation of physical equipment, then the benefit date occurs when the recipient puts the equipment into service. If the business subsidy is for improvements to property, then the benefit date refers to the earliest date of either: when the improvements finished for the entire project; or when a business occupies the property. C. Project Review and Evaluation Criteria The project review and evaluation criteria are the following: 1. Jobs and Wages a. New Jobs. The minimum net number of direct full time equivalent jobs to be created or retained by the proposed project for a period of at least two years from the estimated benefit date. b. Payroll. The minimum annual net payroll (including employer contributions for health benefits) to be generated at the end of the third anniversary date of the estimated benefit date. 2. Tax Base a. Increase in Tax Base. The net increase in property taxes estimated to be generated by the project in the first full year of operation. 3. Land Use a. Compliance with Comprehensive or Other Plans. Whether, apart from any needed services to the community described in section 5 below, the project is more compatible with the comprehensive plan than other permitted uses for the property. For example, the project may involve a "clean" industry such as a technology or service business that is preferred over other permitted uses. b. Marginal Propert y. Whether the project is located on property which needs but is not likely to be developed or redeveloped because of blight or other adverse conditions of the property. For example, property may be so blighted that the cost of making land ready for redevelopment exceeds the property's fair market value. c. Design and/or Other Amenities. Whether, as a result of the business subsidy, the project will include design and/or amenity features not otherwise required by law. For example, the project may, at the request of the City, include landscaping, open space, public trails, employees' work out facilities or day care facilities that serve a public purpose but are not required by law. 4. Impact on Existing and Future Public Investment a. Utilization of Existing Infrastructure Investment. Whether and to what extent (a) the project will utilize existent public infrastructure capacity and (b) the project will require additional publicly funded infrastructure investments. b. Direct Monetary Return on Public Investment. Arrangements made or to be made for the City to receive a direct monetary return on its investment in the project. For example, the business subsidy may be in the form of an interest-bearing loan or may involve a project sharing arrangement. 99 5. Economic Development a. Leveraged Funds. For every dollar of business subsidy to be provided for the project, the minimum amount of private funds which will be applied towards the capital cost of the project. b. Spin Off Development. The dollar amount of non-subsidized development the project is expected to generate in the surrounding area and the need for and likelihood of such spin off development. c. Growth Potential. Based on recipient's market studies and plans for expansion, whether and to what extent the project is expected within five years of its completion, be expanded to produce a net increase of full time equivalent jobs and of payroll, over and above the minimum net increase in jobs and payroll described in section 1 above. 6. Quality of Life a. Community Services. Whether the project will provide services in the community and the need for such services. For example, the project may provide health services, retail convenience services such as a nearby grocery store, or social services needed in the community. 7. Other a. Other Factors. Depending on the nature of the project, such other factors as the City may deem relevant in evaluating the project and the business subsidy proposed for it. .cD D. Criteria Required For All Projects All projects must comply with the following criteria: 1. But For Test. There is a substantial likelihood that the project would not go forward without the business subsidy. This criterion may be met based solely on representations of the recipient of the business subsidy. *2. Wage Policy. If the project results in the creation of any jobs, the wage for each part- time and full-time job created must be, within two years of the date assistance is received (as defined in the Act), at least equal to the prevailing wage for like or similar jobs within the area or such greater amount as the City may require for a specific project. 3. Economic Feasibility. The recipient must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that it has adequate financing for the project and that the project will be completed in a timely fashion. *4. Compliance with Act. The business subsidy from the City must satisfy all requirements of the Act. * These are the only provisions in this business subsidy criteria document which are required by law.

ATTACHMENTS: • Enclosed on pages. 7tbrough 3 is a copy of the report prepared by Director of Parks & Recreation Vraa. ~i.~ MEMO city of eagan TO: TOM HEDGES, CITY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DATE: DECEMBER 28,1999 SUBJECT: LAND ACQUISITION COMMUNITY FACILITY TASK FORCE BACKGROUND/PROCESS Staff facilitated two task force meetings (December 14 and 21) along with a tour of community center sites on December 18. At the first meeting, the task force was updated on the land acquisition along with the responsibility of the group as directed by the Council. The members were asked to identify potential components of a facility or to identify important prop that need to be included in the facility design. Task force members were also provided the opportunity to identify issues of concern. Concerns or issues could be submitted verbally or written and handed in later. It was also suggested that the task force develop a vision statement for the proposed facility. A compilation of issues raised at the first meeting was distributed to task force members prior to the tour of sites. At the second meeting, task force members were asked to give their impressions of the tour; what they liked, disliked or saw as concerns. The group then addressed the need to develop a vision statement, which resulted in the following: "To provide a public gathering place where programs and activities bring people of all ages together to build and foster pride, relationships, fitness and wellness in our community" The group was then asked if they were ready to define needs versus wants through a collective agreement or by individual identification. The group's response was that they were not ready to do so, primarily because they felt that there were not sufficient task force members present to represent the diversity of interests expressed. Others wanted to gather more comments from the community. Moreover, after review of the original Council direction, the group felt it was appropriate to bring the following items forward: 1. Attached for the Council is a composite list of possible community center components and programs derived from the task force's review. The components on the list are not prioritized. It is believed that the cost for all of these components may be more then what can be afforded. S7 2. Also attached is a composite of issues/concerns raised by the members regarding the proposed future facility. 3. A summary of the important elements are: • The need for a Master Plan for the site to insure that a future building meets the needs of the users while complementing the program needs of the park site. The Master Plan for the site would not delay continued planning efforts for a community center. • The feeling that the planning process should include more members of the community to help define the important elements of the facility and the importance of soliciting their support. There is a need to develop a strong communication effort, particularly because it is likely that any such facility will have to be constructed with the proceeds from a bond referendum. • There is a concern for cost, both for construction and operation. This may help to identify priorities. In addition, some members were concerned that if a fee membership is applied to seniors, they may not be able to afford a facility designed for them. • The City might consider building this facility in stages by grouping various components together into "pods" of organization, i.e. athletic activities. Again, cost and affordability play a role in this regard. It is believed that Clyde Thurston, and others on the task force, will be at the January 4 meeting to provide the Council with highlights of their conclusions and discussions.

PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT - HONEY TREE LTD. (SLEEP INN) ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: To approve a Planned Development Amendment to allow additional building signage on the tower portion of the Sleep Inn hotel at 4510 Erin Drive (Lot 1, Block 1, Honey Tree First Addition), subject to the conditions listed in the APC minutes. FACTS: • The property contains a four-story hotel that was constructed in the past two years. Building signage was initially approved for only the west elevation of the tower. The proposal to amend the Planned Development is to add similar building signage on the north, south and east elevations of the tower portion of the building. • The proposed signage for the south tower elevation is consistent with the City Sign Code. The proposed signage on the north and east elevations is not. At the time the initial development plans were approved, east elevation signage was excluded because of concerns from residents across Nicols Road. • The APC held a public hearing on December 21, 1999, and recommended approval of the Planned Development Amendment to allow additional signage on the north and south elevations only. • The applicant has applied to have logo identification signs on both I-35E and Hwy. 77. Minnesota Logos has declined the request because of the lack of visibility of Sleep Inn's on- site signage from Cliff Road (see attached letter). At the time the staff report was prepared, staff did not have this information regarding highway logo signage, nor did the APC at the time of the public hearing and their recommendation in favor of additional signage on the north and south elevations only. • Signage on the south elevation of the tower would help with visibility of the building from Cliff Road, at least for eastbound traffic. For westbound traffic, however, signage on the east elevation of the building would be beneficial. Signage on the north elevation of the tower would be visible to southbound traffic on Hwy. 77 and Nicols Road.

HEARING DATE: December 21, 1999 PROPERTY OWNER: Honey Tree Ltd. PREPARED BY: Pamela Dudziak REQUEST: Planned Development Amendment LOCATION: 4510 Erin Drive COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: CSC, Community Shopping Center ZONING: PD, Planned Development SUMMARY OF REQUEST Honey Tree Ltd. is requesting a Planned Development Amendment to allow building signage on the north, south and east elevations of the building at 4510 Erin Drive in the SW of Section 30. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 5 states, in part 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 2. The Council shall not rezone any land in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for it's consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY A Preliminary Planned Development was approved for this site in 1996. In conjunction with the planned development was a subdivision of the property, which created this lot and the vacant lot adjacent to the north. The approved development plans allowed a hotel on each of the two lots. 7/ Planning Report - Honey Tree Ltd. December 21, 1999 Page 2 EXISTING CONDITIONS The site contains a four-story, 108-room hotel, and site improvements which have been substantially completed, although some landscape and grading items remain outstanding. A recent inspection of the site revealed some violations with regard to refuse and roof signage, as well as some incomplete site improvements. A pylon sign is located on the west side of the property. Existing building signage consists of a 100 square foot cabinet on the west elevation of the tower portion of the building. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Vacant; zoned PD; guided CSC South - Office; zoned CSC; guided CSC East - Pond and Nicols Road West - Hwy. 77/Cedar Avenue EVALUATION OF REQUEST Sign Code Requirements - The City's Sign Code allows building signage on those sides of the building having major street frontage. Building signage cannot exceed 20% of the area of the facade. The Planned Development Agreement for this development included approval of a 27-foot pylon sign located on the west side of the property, building signage on the west side of the building's tower, as well as directional signage at the driveway entrances. Proposed Signage - Honey Tree is now proposing to install wall signs on the north, south and east elevations of the tower portion of the building. These signs would be internally lit cabinets and about 100 square feet in area, the same size and design of the existing wall sign. Applicant's Narrative - The applicant has indicated that the existing signage is inadequate, stating that "the pylon sign is not visible soon enough from the north or south 'and cannot be seen at all from the east or west." Evaluation of Proposal - The north and east sides of the lot do not have street frontage or afford access to the property. Consequently, the proposed signage on the north and east elevations are inconsistent with the City's Sign Code as well as the Planned Development Agreement. During the public hearing on this Planned Development in 1996, residents east of Nicols Road objected to any signage that would face their properties, and as a result, signage on the east elevation was Planning Report - Honey Tree Ltd. December 21, 1999 Page.3 excluded in the final development plans. The lot to the north is part of this Planned Development and has been approved for a future hotel and although it deviates from the City's Sign Code, signage on the north building elevation is unlikely to have negative impacts to adjoining property. The proposed signage on the south elevation is a deviation from the Planned Development Agreement, but complies with the City's Sign Code insofar as the south side of the lot has street frontage and driveway access to the lot is provided from Erin Drive to the south. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Honey Tree Ltd. is requesting a Planned Development Amendment to allow building signage on the north, south and east elevations of the tower portion of the Sleep Inn hotel. The proposed sign on the south elevation is consistent with standard Sign Code requirements, however the signage on the north and east elevation are not because the lot does not have street frontage on those sides. Signage on the east elevation should not be allowed because of impact to the residential properties across Nicols Road to the east and objections raised by those residents at previous public hearings concerning this development. Although inconsistent with the Sign Code, the proposed sign on the north elevation should not have any detrimental effect on neighboring properties and would provide greater highway visibility for this hotel. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED To recommend approval of a Planned Development Amendment to allow building signage on the north, south and east elevations of the tower for property located at 4510 Erin Drive in the SW 1/4 of Section 30. If approved, the following conditions should apply: 1. An Agreement amending the Planned Development shall be executed and recorded at the Dakota County recorder's office. 2. A sign permit for each sign is required prior to installation. 7-3 Eagan boundary Location Map Sane!

AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW City Code Chapter 11, Section 11.40, Subdivision 5 states, in part 1. The provisions of this chapter may be amended by the majority vote of the council, except that amendments changing the boundaries of any district or changing the regulations of any district may only be made by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of all members of the council. 8i Planning Report - Hawthorn Suites December21, 1999 Page 2 2. The Council shall not rezone any land or area in any zoning district or make any other proposed amendment to this chapter without first having referred it to the planning commission for it's consideration and recommendation. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The subject site is currently part of the Eagandale Office Park 4' Addition Planned Development (PD) that was approved in July of 1986. The original PD approval included a six story, 190 room hotel (Holiday Inn Select) and a future 4,500 square foot restaurant (upon the subject property). According to the applicant, the existence of the Lone Oak Cafe within the adjacent Holiday Inn Select makes the construction of the restaurant not economically feasible. The subject property lies within the CPD, Commercial Planned Development land use guide plan designation. Use of the subject property is governed by the original planned development. EXISTING CONDITIONS The subject site is presently a vacant, platted lot. Mature vegetation exists on the periphery of the site. The site slopes from the southwest to the northeast approximately 20 feet. There is presently no curb cut access to the property. SURROUNDING USES The following existing uses, zoning, and comprehensive guide plan designations surround the subject property: North - Office Building (Blue Cross Blue Shield); zoned Limited Industrial and designated Limited Industrial. South - Office Buiding*; zoned Planned Development and designated Central Area. East - Office Building (Blue Cross Blue Shield); zoned Limited Industrial and designated Limited Industrial. West - Hotel (Holiday Inn Select); zoned Planned Development and designated Commercial Planned Development. * Future phase anticipated EVALUATION OF REQUEST Compatibility with Surrounding Area - The subject site is bounded on the north, south and east by office uses. While the proposed hotel use represents an obvious change to the previously Planning Report - Hawthorn Suites December 21, 1999 Page 3 proposed restaurant use, it will similarly take advantage of the site's visibility from, and proximity to 1-494 and appears compatible with surrounding development. Like the adjacent Holiday Inn Select, the proposed hotel is to be six stories in height. The hotel is proposed to be finished in brick and colored stucco intended to match the finish materials of the Holiday Inn Select. Site Plan - The submitted site plan calls for the construction of a six story, 87 room hotel on the site. The hotel is proposed to be centrally located on the property with off-street parking provided on the south and west sides of the structure. The site is to be accessed via a single curb cut from Corporate Center Drive and two shared access drives from the adjacent Holiday Inn Select site. The hotel features one-bedroom, two-bedroom, studio, boardroom and whirlpool suites. In addition, the hotel will feature an indoor pool and two meeting rooms for a combined total of 40 guests. Setbacks - Although the Zoning Code does not have specific setback requirements for a Planned Development, the proposed hotel meets or exceed standard setback requirements which would be applied to similar uses in other zoning districts where a hotel use is allowed (i.e. the RB, Roadside Business zone). Landscaping - The landscape plan appears to provide adequate screening of off-street parking areas (along Corporate Center Drive). Specifically, off-street parking areas are to be screened via a combination of Maple, Spruce and Arborvitae. A significant amount of new vegetation is also to be provided along the site's eastern and western boundaries where a wide variety of trees and shrubs have been proposed. Building Materials - According to the submitted building elevations, the proposed hotel is to be finished in brick, glass, and stucco (EIFS). The City Code does not establish specific building material requirements for structures within PD zoning districts. In this particular instance, however, the city's commercial district standards are considered applicable. Buildin Height - The Zoning Code does not establish a maximum height requirement for Planned Developments. The proposed six story hotel is to measure 60' - 4" in height (compared to six stories and 59'-l" for the adjacent Holiday Inn Select hotel) and exceeds the maximum 35 foot requirement applied in the parallel RB zone. Building heights that exceed the maximum requirements of the City Code are normally handled as Conditional Use Permits (CUP). Under the terms of the PD however, the proposed building height can be accommodated without a separate CUP process. Mechanical Equipment - No rooftop equipment is shown on the submitted plans. Any rooftop equipment should be screened from view of all public rights-of-way. Planning Report - Hawthorn Suites December 21, 1999 Page 4 Trash Enclosure - An outdoor trash enclosure has been proposed in the extreme northwest comer of the subject property. The enclosure is attached to the principal building and satisfies applicable City requirements. Off-Street Parking - As calculated below, a total of 98 off-street parking spaces are required of the proposed hotel: Use Ratio Required Spaces Hotel (87 rooms) 1 space per room plus 1 space for 98 each 8 units As shown on the site plan, a total of 98 off-street parking spaces have been proposed for Hawthorn Suites, 12 of which are shown as proof of parking. The applicant contends that because a shared off-street parking arrangement with the adjacent hotel is to exist, the proposed off-street parking supply (86 stalls) will be meet expected demand. While the City Code required the adjacent hotel to provide 214 off-street parking stalls, it was contended by hotel representatives that such supply did not accurately reflect anticipated demand. Ultimately, the City approved a site plan calling for the construction of 110 stalls with an understanding that additional stalls would be constructed if the need were to arise, several of which were to have been located upon the Hawthorn Suites site. Considering that a shared off-street parking arrangement has been proposed and that a proof of parking plan was never prepared for the Holiday Inn Select property, the applicant has (at the request of staff) prepared a proof of parking plan for the hotel. In accordance with State requirements, ample handicap parking has been provided. Off-street parking stalls measure 18 feet in depth and nine feet in width which is consistent with code requirements. Site Lighting - In accordance with City Code requirements, a site lighting plan has been submitted for review. The plan shows a mixture of shoe box fixtures (25 feet in height) along the perimeter of the parking lot and bollards between the parking lot and the hotel structure. All exterior lighting should be hooded and directed to deflect light away from adjacent properties and rights-of-way. Signage - According to the site plan, a ground sign of unspecified dimensions is to be located adjacent to the site's curb cut from Corporate Center Drive. As a condition of planned development approval, such sign must meet the applicable location and dimensional requirements of the Sign Code. Wall signage has been proposed on both the south and west sides of the building. While the Sign Code does not allow wall signage upon facades without street frontage (the buildings western facade), an allowance can be made via the planned development. The building signage on the Q7 ~ ,t Planning Report - Hawthorn Suites December 21, 1999 Page 5 west facade will provide identification to vehicles on Pilot Knob Road. The acceptability of signage placement on the west side of the structure is considered a policy matter to be determined by City Officials. Storm Drainage - Storm sewer is available for connection by this development. A portion of existing public storm sewer on the site will be relocated to accommodate the hotel construction. The developer should be responsible for providing as-built record plan drawings in accordance with City standards of the relocated public storm sewer. Utilities - Sanitary sewer and water main are available for connection by this development. Relocation of a portion of the existing public sanitary sewer on the site will be relocated to accommodate the hotel construction. The developer should be responsible for providing as-built record plan drawings in accordance with City standards of the relocated public sanitary sewer. Access/ Circulation - Public street access for the development is available from a new driveway entrance directly onto Corporate Center Drive to the south and a shared existing driveway through the Holiday Inn Select site. Easements - The developer has petitioned the City to vacate drainage and utility easements located over the existing sanitary and storm sewer lines proposed to be relocated as part of this development. The developer should dedicate all necessary easements over the relocated public sanitary and sewer lines. Airport Noise Considerations - The City of Eagan considered airport noise as a factor in its Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. The Metropolitan Council has adopted an Aviation Chapter of its Metropolitan Development Plan that anticipates the impacts from the continued operation of the airport at its current location. The noise policy contours in Eagan place the subject property within Noise Zone 2. Within this area, transient lodging would be provisional, meaning that it must comply with certain structural performance standards to be acceptable according to MS 473.192. In particular, the building plans, materials and construction should be such that they will ensure an interior sound level of 50 dBA (provisional land use performance standards) as compared with a noise level of 75 DNL (based on the inside boundary of the noise zone). This would require an inside noise level reduction of at least 25 dBA (DNL level minus required dBA level) as compared with the noise level at the inner boundary of the noise zone, in this case 75 DNL. Tree Preservation - The site is about sixty percent wooded with a variety of deciduous trees. The balance of the site is open dirt and grasses. A tree inventory has been submitted for this application. It indicates that there is 46,000 square feet of significant woodlands located on site. The woodland is comprised of ash, cottonwood, boxelder, elm, and oak trees. Average diameter is about 10 inches. There are some larger diameter trees within the woodland, mostly located in the north part of the site. Trees located here include several 12" to 15" bur oaks, a 24" cottonwood, and several 8" to 10" ash trees. Development as proposed for this site will result in the removal of 24,500 square feet of the Planning Report - Hawthorn Suites December 21, 1999 Page 6 significant woodlands (53.3% of the total). According to the City of Eagan Tree Preservation ordinance allowable removal for this type of development (single-lot commercial) is set at 30.0%. With a significant woodland removal more than allowable limits, there will be tree mitigation applied to this application. As the development is proposed, tree mitigation calculates to the installation of twenty-one (21) category A trees, or forty-two (42) category B trees, or eighty- four (84) Category C trees, or an equivalent combination of these trees. The applicant has submitted a Tree Mitigation/Landscape Plan that includes the installation of trees to fulfill their tree mitigation requirements, however this plan does not differentiate between tree preservation mitigation trees and landscape requirement trees. A revised landscape/tree mitigation plan should be submitted before building permit issuance that shows specific tree mitigation trees versus specific landscape trees. Water Ouality - The 1.67-acre subject site is located in the City's H-watershed and will generate runoff that enters the existing stonmwater system that terminates at HP- 1, a stormwater basin located in the Minnesota River bottoms in Mendota Heights. Due to the nature of this development, on-site treatment of stormwater for water quality purposes is not practicable. Therefore, the development is subject to a water quality cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding of $6,394 (based on an impervious surface coverage of 65.6 percent). This development site requires proper installation and effective maintenance of erosion control practices, to prevent or minimize impacts to down-gradient resources and water quality. There are no jurisdictional wetlands located on this development site. Staff recommends that no on-site ponding should be required for this subdivision. A water quality cash dedication in lieu of on-site ponding should be required. Parks and Trails - This proposal shall be responsible for a cash parks dedication and a cash trails dedication at the time of building permit. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION The applicant is requesting a Planned Development Amendment to allow the construction of an 87 room hotel upon 1.7 acres of land located north of Corporate Drive and east of Pilot Knob Road on property currently platted as Lot 2, Block 1, Eagandale Office Park 4' Addition. The hotel use and design appear compatible with existing and anticipated surrounding uses.
